I'm being a bit stupid, sorry. I don't get it. What is it? A remote desktop thing? Or does it pretend to be a second monitor in a window (which is pretty clever so nice work). EDIT: or I can plug another Mac in? I'm confused by that bit about not alt-tabbing between video of a tutorial and your editor. I can do that now, using, you know, the window manager that's built into the OS. That's why I'm a bit lost, sorry.

It lets you load a webpage/picture/video/file in a floating window that will always stay on top.

So if you're working in your editor full screen, you can keep this floating window on top. And keep most of your screen's real estate.

I hope this answer your questions.

--- My initial message that I can't post anymore ---

I'm Yoann Moinet, I've developed Fenêtre.

Thank you so much for all your valuable feedbacks, I love it.

I've worked on it with my friend Max William Neilson, who took care of the designs.

We also are on Product Hunt https://www.producthunt.com/posts/fenetre

To repeat what I answered to other questions.

- Windows is coming.

- I'll have a look for *nix.

- Will fix mobile as soon as I have some time.

- I choose the domain name, and I love it. But it gave us a hard time in multiple places, because special chars are not handle well everywhere!

- Similar to Helium indeed (I love it too) but with a different feature set.

Here are some promo codes for you.

Please just load the whole damn page. I hate scrolling down, watching stuff appear much too late for me to realise I've reached where content is. This page really didn't work at all on mobile.

Thanks for the heads up on mobile, I will update it ASAP!

Windows user here - looks pretty neat. I googled around and it appears MS is working on something similar for Windows 10, but I'm not sure if it's going to land as a feature available to power users or rather app developers. For now I'm sticking to my ghetto AutoHotkey make-always-on-top script. Also, that Unicode domain name looks sweet.

Thanks mate !

I'm actually working on the windows version. It's not that far, but it needs way more infrastructure, especially for the licence system. As the Mac AppStore has all this built in.

Great to hear - I'll be checking it out.

I'm really enjoying this so far. Using it to keep our app's dashboard floating in the corner to keep an eye on it. My biggest want right now is support for right clicking / keyboard shortcuts in the opened browser pages. Had to manually type out my randomly-generated, 26-character password since I couldn't just copy and paste from 1password. That said, this is great. Well worth the purchase.
